Download this datapack and make dropping gravel onto torches a thing of the past.
This pack lets you craft 1 gravel into 1 flint.

I went looking for a pack like this and didn't find one that didn't mess with the 1:1 ratio, so I just made my own.

No need to unzip the file or do anything really, just drop it right in the datapacks folder for your world or server, and you're good to go.

The pack should be very small in size. It's essentially just the recipe and the hidden advancement that makes it show up in the recipe book. I didn't include a function or advancement to verify the pack is installed; it just seemed unnecessary for a pack so minimal.

Have fun,

Instead of making a larger data pack that contains this pack, I ask that you instead make a collection here on Planet Minecraft with my pack included. This allows me to see how many people download my packs, get feedback (through comments, diamonds, and hearts), and provide one place (this page) for updated versions.
